According to a new video from fictional world fan VSauce, the warfare presented in Call of Duty games is so patently ridiculous that if ever such a battle broke out and raged for just six days, the entire world’s population would be in the casualties list.

Significantly less boring than reality.

Thanks, Kotaku.
